Long, orange, oak, vanilla and brown sugar. Slightly drying, slight nuttiness and then some tropical fruit right at the end – I’d go with mango juice maybe?

With water: No change.

Overall:

I have to say I’m a fan of the Dalmore range – from bottle to finish they’re pure class and never disappoint. If I had to try and pick a fault with this? Well maybe that the caramel on the nose seemed a little… off? I know some of their range have caramel colouring added to them but I don’t know if this particular expression does as well. If it does though then that may be the culprit. I’ve never been able to identify caramel colouring in the past but maybe my nosing abilities are just improving? That or I’m imagining it as my sanity slowly ebbs away…

I’m sure someone will tell me now it has no added colouring in and it’s all in my head! Even if it does though it’s not enough to put me off and I’d be more than happy to drink it again!
